"I had dealt with Debbie Kirkland on a previous property, so I called her. She and James looked at the property together. After that, I dealt with James mostly. One of the reasons I liked James was that he was always available to take my calls.
I answered some of the above as not applicable because I really did not know much about what goes on behind the scenes, so I do not feel qualified to make an assessment of them.
I think the above says it all."
Mildred Luther, Tallahassee, FL (Seller) Tue, 12 Jan 2021 06:00:06 +1000
"When we decided to list our home and search for a new one, we were very nervous about the process. We were referred to Tom Hutchinson by a close friend, and he made the process so simple and stress-free! Tom lined up over 10 showings the very first day our home hit the market, and we received multiple offers well over asking price. He also was able to negotiate a fair price for our new home. I could name dozens of ways Tom went above and beyond as our realtor. He was always willing to lend a helping hand and answer all of our questions promptly. I would definitely recommend Tom to anyone looking for a realtor who will be patient, attentive, and responsive throughout the entire process."

William "Billy" Boller, Tallahassee (Buyer) Mon, 15 Jun 2020 03:59:40 +1000
"Many of the agents we spoke with prior to selecting Tom we’re unwilling to work with us because we were on the cusp of needing to do a short sale. Tom Hutchinson was knowledge about the market and potential buyers for the property and offered a strategy for selling that ultimately sold the property without us needing to go into the short sale process.
I was impressed by how well Tom negotiated on our behalf. He saved us a substantial sum of money both in determining the sale price and when the purchaser asked for last minute repair allowances while threatening to terminate the sale. I will also add that he made it very easy to complete the sale remotely. I would recommend Tom Hutchinson to anyone looking to sell a property in Tallahassee."
